Hi Guys
There's a chance that I'll be going to the Canadian GP next year has anyone been there? If so any advice? Its our 40th wedding anniversary this year and we both want to tour Canada which has obviously has to be done in June. :good:

I think PG went this year, but he hasn't been around the forum for a while. Try PM'ing him.
Otherwise I'm no help. Born in Montreal but have never made it back for a GP.

Thanks Scott, what's good to see in Montreal?

There's a really nice playground in Beaconsfield...about all I remember since I left when I was 4 :D :D

That's it I have taken the plunge and booked my ticket, I'm in stand 11 which is at the end of the pit straight so I hope to some of the action there, was it this year Massa was taken out there? It has been a tricky decision as there is no seating plans for any of the stands such as you would get in a theatre which I find surprising in todays technological age. My decision in the end was down to looking at clips on You Tube from different stands but without the seating plan its still a bit of an unknown.
I also have a pass for the playground in Beaconsfield. :yahoo:

Good on yer Andy, Canadian GP's great, enjoy. :good:
-
Fantastic Andy. It's certainly on my bucket list.
As for the impossibility to buy specific tickets, I couldn't agree with you more. I'm not sure why the resellers can't get their act together, but I suspect it is an apathy thing...they sell out anyway, so who cares?

I'm lucky as my wife is sympathetic to my need for speed so I go to the race and she goes shopping and sight seeing we have done France, Singapore and Melbourne like this and so far it works. Going to the races alone is not a problem as once there I find several thousand friends. :good:
I think the only race I am not keen on is Brazil as the rumours of muggings and being wary of where you go seems too uncomfortable for me. Next on the list could be Japan or Malaysia.

Have a great time, Andy!
(I have race tickets booked this year... ...for the WEC in Silverstone).

We'd be like the bestest faithful old hound dogs Andy, - honest. :D
Oh and you needn't worry Dare would adopt the sitting position in the lavatory just to avoid peeing on your suede shoes, ;) you know what really old gents are like. ::)
Seriously though I'm well jealous of your Canadian plans - so I hope it's a really wet race weekend. :tease:

I'm disappointed John....I try to get you a free GP going as my
assistant and first thing you do is stick me in the toilet :o :swoon:

1000 comedians out of work and we have John and Ian :tease:
-
I've done my checks and: -
- The plane is full.
- The hotel has run out of beds.
- The stand has run out of seats.
- I have run out of money!
It would have been great to have seen you both there!
Maybe next time.
-
John and Ian would make great bodyguards though - think of all the nasties they'd disarm with laughter ;)

:DD :DD :DD Like it Ali. :good:

I have been a few times. I like Canada, and Montreal is certainly F1 friendly.
Unless you absolutely believe you need to be near the start/finish line, turn 10 offers the most action. Of the seats there, I recommend the exit side toward turn 11. This is best from the standpoint of sun location during the day as well.
The infield area accessible from somewhere back toward turn 9 from there opens into a large vending area too, which is not as crowded as the area near the main grandstands.
-
I cannot remember the last time I had so many helpful offers I'm so grateful. :good:
Thanks for the information JC I have booked stand 11 rightly or wrongly I will have to wait till June to find out. :DntKnw:
